After bifurcation, AP began its journey with a deficit of Rs 16,500 crore. And to convert his mega plans into reality, the government needs to pump in more than Rs 10 lakh crore. Ironically two days ago, Naidu wrote to Union finance minister Arun Jaitley, expressing his government’s inability to repay Rs 10,500 crore loans taken from the Centre and requested him to consider waiving the debt.

Where’s the money?

* Building a new capital alone requires an estimated Rs 1.35 lakh crore

* Each smart city would need over Rs 40,000 crore just to have the required infrastructure

* The 128 projects announced by the CM would require over Rs 7 lakh crore

* Two days ago, Naidu wrote to the Centre expressing his government’s inability to repay Rs 10,500 crore loans and requested a waiver

According to an initial proposal, the government is ready to give about 24% of the acquired land to the actual owner. For instance, if the government acquired one acre (100 cents) from a farmer, 40 cents would be spared for roads, drains and community spaces. Of the remaining 60 cents, the farmer and the government would take a share of 40:60, which accounts for 24 cents for the farmer. The government would get 36 cents from each acre acquired from the farmers.

This means that the government would be required to acquire three times the actual land required for the capital. Suppose the government plans to have the capital in about 20,000 acres, it would have to acquire about 60,000 acres. In fact, Naidu has been dreaming about having a capital city of 50,000 acres and land pooling for such a massive capital may face hurdles.

@ RK ….
Yes that is what most educated people would expect but the problem is ,a minority population in AP is taking advantage of the silence from others.
In my opinion ….
If fanatism is an evil ………..Silence is a bigger evil.
Racism across the world is being tackled better only because the majority are talking about it and challenging it on all platforms.
Sadly most people in Rayalaseema and Northandhra are not aware of what fanatics do in some of the coastal districts and I think they need to know this for things to change.

This is the kind of mockery of public perception of development made by TDP that needs to be presented by YCP team. Avg price for Bullet train for 500-600kms seems to be anywhere between 6000-7000 INR in japansese terms, china pricing seems to be 1/2 (or) 1/3 of it.

What need to be questioned is the requirement of such stuff & viability in long term in terms of usage? Does people want a better speed trains in the lins of 150kmph, neat/safe/punctual trains (or) simply bullet trains.

This could have happened even if YCP selects “donakonda” as capital city right? Only way to do justice is that by conducting assembly sessions in 3 regions as per the season and maintain various high court benches in 3 regions.

Sometime I wonder if it was worth for these Freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives for the so called Freedom ? The outcome is Indians looting and killing Indians rather than the British who at least spared Mahatma Gandhi ??

I agree with you. When the other guy was promising to bring Heaven to Earth people would not take long to fall into the trap. We should have picked up on their crook tactics rather than advertising them more.
Whether they bring Heaven down or make the place a Hell only time can say.
Things would have been a lot different now if we would have been cautious.
Their agenda was to give false promises, spend hundreds of crores , come to Power by any means and then loot thousands of crores by choosing their towns as Capital. They will then invest this money in the next polls to loot lakhs of crores. This is a fact.
Manam Viluvalu viswasathaneeyatha ani pattukunte …..Avi appudu vinani varu Desam dochukuntunnaru !!
But one thing is true …they will not take a single rupee with them when they die . If only there was no Death then the story would have been a lot worse.

Lets not relate this to a particular party doing injustice to regions, this same happened in & around HYD vicinity during the period of 2005-2008, people have speculated prices of lands , without agreements, increased prices, formed a mafia group and they used to move land ownership between themselves and hike prices…..point is market can only speculate only to an extent due to its affordability and then either it gets stagnant (or) crash, which has happened in HYD from 2008. If this can happen to HYD which has multiple other options for its growth engine , i don’t see any different story for VJW vicinity.

There are huge number of such stories in & around HYD like this, there are bars in villages which used to sell hardly just one high premium whisky brand but moved to selling only High premium whisky brands….we will see huge number of such stories coming out of krishna & guntur dist, get ready for roller coaster ride show.

My friend sums up the situation nicely, in boom, people who make money by selling land are good enough and safe, people who purchase new lands in boom & hold land anticipating heavy growth are the ones who will get stuck & suffer, happened to thousands of families in HYD, history keeps repeating.

TDP repeated taunts at Jagan about his inexperience should be stopped. Jagan has visited every corner of AP unlike 99% of TDP leaders. What matters is Intent, Integrity and competence. Experience is a big burden in modern world. There is so much to Jettison and unlearn.

You are right Murthy garu. YSRCP should talk in such a way that CBN is an outdated politician and he can not even speak english well. His experience is only useful for diverting the attention from his false promises not for brilliant ideas to rebuild the state. CBN’s intention is only to make it easy for Lokesh babu who is not that capable in CBN’s view itself and thats the reason for vijayawada being made capital as well. He is trying to consolidate as much as possible because he knows he will be 70+ years old by next elections.

Babu garu who claims to have invented the computer calls Satya Nadella as MD of Microsoft instead of CEO. May be he is too used to ruling everything as a Private property ??
Jagan ….If Babu cannot convince people then he does not hesitate to confuse them.

Sir, YSJ should take examples form history where in its proved that experience is not the only criteria eg … “Tendulkar Vs Dhoni” ; “TATA’s Vs Reliance” ; IBM vs Facebook; “Advani Vs Modi”…..quote examples, who proved that its not experience, its IDEA’s that count in this modern 21st century….counter attack TDP govt saying they have experience only in back stabbing , back tracking on promises they have given to people, falling at the feet of WB….YSJ is looking like he is not ready to play the dirty & mud throw game…but then politics is all about it

I’m sure this experience of handling assembly proceedings will help YSJ in a big way, by next term elections he will know how to handle them effectively. Even when NTR won in 1983, he faced tough time to handle experienced congress opposition with likes of DK samara simhareddy (Who is now in TDP) etc….

I wonder if Satya Nadella Chowdary and You give jobs to telugu people through this website ? Only asking because some of the poor students from other communities in AP are willing to Convert to get a job ??

Its a very good step I think. Sajjala is more fit for political advisor job rather than being chief editor of Sakshi. I hope Ramachandra moorthy will get Sakshi that neutral tag and increase the readership.
Good luck Ramachadra moorthy garu for your new role.
Good luck Sajjala garu for your political advisor role for Telangana region.

Jagan…keep up the good work.. Time will give You an opportunity for sure to serve the People..I really appreciate your presentation skills in Assembly. Please give room for sarcasm while attacking opponents..that will make You a complete YSR…

Yes his approach in the assembly is applaudable and there is a long way to go. Our day will come and all we need to do is to continue to fight for the cause of all sections of the society . This is the biggest advantage we have when compared to TDP known for fighting for One community.
People cannot be fooled with false promises all the time.
Power is not permanent.
One suggestion I would like to make is ….
JAGAN and other YSRCP leaders should read out the TDP manifesto regularly in and outside the assembly so that people do not forget all the false promises.
Sakshi should set virtual deadlines for each false promise and you will see how the people would react when they are not met .

I was watching assembly proceedings today. Jagan is very aggressive and he need to maintain the aggressiveness. Opposition knows that they are not right but that yanamala who used ladies to quash the case against CBN talks without any meaning. The CBN behaves like as though it is his house.. he says 7 times MLA. Does that matter? If that is the case, NTR, first time MLA became CM right? this guy behaving like anything. But definitely Jagan has dominated and exposed the ruling party.

I’m not sure whether it might be really required to go for high rise buildings in VJW, as far as i know tallest building in HYD is not more than 15-20 floors, in terms of govt buildings, ofcourse pvt buildings like Lanco hills & Ramky city are taller….even in blore i cant recollect govt buildings taller than 20-25 floors…

Gigantic structures are good to show case as jazzy stuff , but is it really required is the question? I would prefer focusing on irrigation projects, power generation, petroleum exploration, than showcasing a structure to tell that “I built capital city” kind of message…CBN is too obsessed with concrete structures only for high income groups but not for farmers….we need to do wait & watch on how it comes out.

Chitta Suddhi unte the above are not required. An able person can administer sitting in tents / sheds. Long time ago I asked one of the visitors here – why do down towns exist? Why high rise buildings for few blocks and they disappear. cb is following the same model. Gigantic structures created in infertile 100 acres near VJA is enough to accommodate the entire capital, its employees etc. No need to acquire any agri-land. But cb’s motive per wb guidelines is different.

Yeah thats really funny, they were proposing airport for Kuppam 🙂 which isn’t even a municipality i think. Sometimes i think this is an art to build air castles for poor people who might think all is green, remember India shining message by BJP in 2004 elections ?

Vijayawada-Guntur may be Naidu’s choice for capital-May 18, 2014-Times.

[Moreover, it is a Kamma heartland and there is strong pressure from the community leaders to locate the capital in the region.

The financially strong Kamma community has been solidly backing the Telugu Desam Party since its inception and Naidu may not do anything that would go against them. By locating the capital in the Kamma heartland, he will keep the local landlords happy,” said sociologist V Satyanarayana of Vijayawada].

Chandrababu: Image and reality
On most indicators, Chandrababu Naidu ran the worst performing state in the south of India for nearly 10 years. Yet the more damage he did, the more his media standing grew, says P Sainath.
P Sainath is one of the two recipients of the A.H. Boerma Award, 2001, granted for his contributions in changing the nature of the development debate on food, hunger and rural development in the Indian media.

1. How many people are aware of this site? What are we doing to attract more similar thinkers into this team? My example, I googled YSJMR and accidentally found this site by chance. This does not appear on search list as a preferred site.

2. The owners of this site who may be interacting or had known YS family, in person, have an obligation to share their views on YSJ and decimate all the false propaganda on his personality. Post election defeat I did not see any image make over effort on this front.

I agree with Ram . The messengers should be more pro active and the listeners should take on board the good suggestions / ideas. Otherwise there is very little chance for things changing especially when we are fighting against a very well organised yellow mafia that has no ethical or moral values. We need to think of ways to tackle these people who help each other out and pass on important information to people from their own community no matter in which Party they are in. Whether you believe this or not …They have spies in every department and it is not that difficult to trace them from their surname.

Motto in life : LOOT …….INVEST …..LOOT

I think there are only two ways out ….

1. Expose them to the rest of AP so that they get challenged with their decisions at all levels or
2. Learn from them and plant more powerful Weeds that can dominate them

Most of the delta region people are aware of these people. But exposing them is nothing new and will not have any effect. They have powerful media which will dominate the truth. And most importantly the communities which support them religiously(really, they may not go to temple everyday but will support CBN and blame YS family on daily basis). If anyone listening to them everyday again and again, people tend to develop enimity towards YS family. I feel obscuring caste from people’s mind or making people forget is the only way. Not sure when that happens but that is the only way. Then people will open their eyes and distinguish good and bad.

Green fields will be destroyed in years to come either through direct acquisition or real-deals in years to come. Marginal farmers who will lose livelihood, and who won’t gain any thing because of the changes. Hope eminent environmentalists start agitation against this insane and arrogant cb who is blindly following wb designs and development models.

The gains of rice that were grown in KG delta are a part of most of us, made the meat we have in our bodies. It is only a mentally unstable person can think of such stupidity – of destroying lush green crops and converting into unproductive lands. Pacchani chetla meeda mootra visarjana chestunna daridrulanu emanalo ardham kavadamledu.

Rulers have the audacity to lure people into this trap hanging carrots before their eyes, and making others jealous and create a deliberate conflict among sections. None benefits from this entire misdeed, including the people blindly supporting this stupidity. Hope spiritual masters can bring in sane minds into these fallen rulers.

Govt must be forced to make laws not to touch green fields. They can do other stupidity but have stringent laws that only crops can be grown in existing agri lands.

If capital city is not planned properly , without maintaining proper environmental balance then we might see city flooding issues that happened in 2009, i remember close to 32 lakh cusec of water is released per day from prakasam barrage in that year, which is kind of record sorts.

Yes. I think there are some good orators in the Team and we need to make use of the skills regularly.
It would be a good idea to appoint Somayajulu garu as the Party National spokesperson and we need to address the National media regularly.
Bring back KVP and Vundavalli.
Give the Telangana leadership to Sharmila. There are still millions of YSR admirers there .

NLR bro.
we shouldnt put all eggs in one basket. look at tummala batch. look at his yesterday rally. all Ks rallied behind him to get get works done in T.
we should follow same strategy. congress and BJP lo strong R leaders ravali. YSRCP is better off taking care of SA alone.

Yes underhill.. Praveen is one heck of wonderful orator. now the battle is fought through media debates. we should identify people and provide them with good information.

I have met many people in T who have a strong sentiment for T but still admired YSR’s commitment to do good work cutting across regions.
They also have a soft corner for Sharmila .
Where as look at Babu who was born in Rayalaseema and showed all his affection for Bezawada ?? Even the National media is writing why he did that !!

These kind of news will bring down the image of a news paper and reduces credibility of it, news reporter can tell how better things can be done with same amount of budget, but i-PAD will be definitely useful for teachers provided they can afford broadband connectivity at their home, i-PAD usefulness for agriculture is debatable since a farmer who cannot afford 3 days meal will not be interested in looking for information in i-PAD, might be it will trigger him to become e-literate, if not for himself atleast he want his children to take it up?

Why iPad? Are there no other low cost mediums to propagate technical and market information to farmers? How about Govenrmnet sets up a 27×7 TV channel for farmers. How about a daily news paper for farmers? It is not what it appears obvious. Remember those days in 90s when mTV was coming into India. What a cultural change it made, and see the generation and their current thinking today. This iPad is a similar toy to send the messages into deeper rural communities that are not penetrated through internet and align them into a global system.

Yes. He is one of those genuine fighters for the people who voted for him. I think we can see that when he talks. Words straight from the heart.
He is probably the only MLA who has decided to spend all his salary for his constituents.
